During the War of 1812, the capital city of the United States was burned by British troops. Which number on the map is CLOSEST to the city that was burned?
A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4

Answer:

C) 3

Explanation:

During the War of 1812, Washington D.C. was burned, and 3 is closest to Washington D.C.

3 is the number on the map is closest to the city that was burned. Hence, option C is correct.

The country was engaged in conflict. The majority of the populace fled after hearing about the approaching army, leaving the capital exposed. In reprisal for the Americans burning the Canadian capital at York on April 27, 1813, British troops burned down a large portion of the city, encountering little to no resistance.

In retribution for the American assault on the city of York in Ontario, Canada, in June 1813, British troops invade Washington, D.C. on August 24, 1814, and burn the White House. This occurred during the War of 1812 between the United States and England.

On Christmas Eve in 1929, a fire severely damaged the majority of the West Wing and Oval Office. Thomas Jefferson had the idea for the West Wing over a century ago.

Thus, option C is correct.

According to the author, what was one reason Alfred Thayer Mahan thought control of the Pacific Islands was important to the development of the United States?

. . . Mahan was not in the vanguard [forefront] of those imperialists in 1898 who, like Roosevelt, Lodge, Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana, and others, saw in a victorious war with Spain for Cuba Libre [independence] an opportunity also to annex the distant Philippines. Mahan had seen since 1896 both the need and the opportunity for American commercial expansion in the Pacific and into the markets of China. But there is no persuasive evidence that he linked the annexation of the entire Philippine archipelago with that particular goal. The acquisition of naval coaling stations at Manila, in Guam, and at the mouth of the Yangtze he deemed entirely adequate to sustain future American commercial ambitions in China.

To be sure, he had long advocated the annexation of Hawaii, his arguments invariably [always] centering on defense of the Pacific coast, control of Oriental immigration, and the strategic implications of Japanese expansion into the Central Pacific. He had again demanded Hawaiian annexation as recently as February 1898 when Senator James H. Kyle, of South Dakota, asked him for a statement on the strategic virtues and values of the islands. He cheered in July 1898 when the United States, almost as a national-defense reflex, blinked twice, gulped, and finally swallowed whole the Hawaiian group. As he wrote in mid-August, “In the opinion of the Board, possession of these islands, which happily we now own, is militarily essential, both to our transit to Asia, and to the defense of our Pacific coast.” . . .

The earliest known survey of the mountain was in 1715. The Qing Empire in China studied the mountain while mapping its territory. In 1802, the British were conducting a survey of the highest mountains in the world. They wanted to measure Everest, but the government of Nepal did not allow them to enter the country. They suspected that the British might try to claim the mountain as their own. Five decades later, in 1852, an Indian mathematician and surveyor named Radhanath Sikdar identified Everest as the world's highest peak. The name Mount Everest was officially adopted as the English name for the mountain in 1865. It was named after Sir George Everest, an early British surveyor who was the head of the survey. What's interesting is that Everest objected to the mountain being named after him. He argued that his name was too difficult to pronounce in the local language, Hindi.

About the Park

Yellowstone National Park is located in the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Yellowstone was the first national park in the United States and is considered to be one of the first national parks in the world. The park contains several hydrothermal wonders, which are natural vents on the earth's surface that emit heat. Some examples of these vents include hot springs. Lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountain ranges cover more than 3,000 square miles, or five percent of the entire park. Yellowstone's wetlands provide a vital habitat for numerous insects, birds, fish, rare plants, and thermal species such as reptiles and amphibians. Visitors from all over the world flock year-round to the park to experience wildlife, hiking, snowmobiling, skiing, rock climbing, and camping. There are several designated areas throughout the 2 million acres of park where people can stay. Visitors who are as hungry as bears can dine at one of the park's many restaurants.

Climate

The climate of Yellowstone is largely influenced by its elevation. Precipitation levels change frequently and can range from little rain to downpours depending on location. The climate of the park has been gradually becoming warmer over the last 50 years. This has led to the of melting of the blanket of snow that covers the mountains, which, in turn, affects water levels, vegetation growth, and the habits of wildlife. Many species depend on deep snow to breed, raise their young, and hunt successfully. The snow provides protection and camouflage for prey and also cover for predators.

Animal Survival

Yellowstone has the largest public herd of American bison in the United States. It wasn't always this way, however. While bison once roamed wild through most of North America in great numbers, an intense hunting campaign in the 1880s led to a dramatic decrease in population. By the late 1880s, only about two dozen bison were left in Yellowstone Park. In 1902, the park's management set about trying to help the bison population bounce back. By 1954, the herd had grown to over 1,000 animals. Park staff have worked hard in order to successfully bring these bison back from the brink of extinction. The bison that now live in the park feed primarily on grasses and plants in the open grasslands and meadows. They typically forage for 9 to 11 hours daily, and as a result, overgrazing is a continuous concern. Consequently, access to water is also very important to the bison herd that roams the park.
